My Walls
I live in a cage
 
 
 nothing too special
 
 
 
   a steel barrier
 
 
 a different kind
 of world to live.
 
 
 
    Every day I silently
 
 
 listen to the wind
 as it dances
 
     freely through the
 
 
 
  bars of my home.
 
 I dream of
 
   such careless freedom
 
 
 
     though it never 
 
     makes it too far out
 of my home.
 
 
 
     
 
 
 
 
     But one day
 
 
    the walls will 
  crumble down.
 
 
 “Mayday, mayday,”
 
 
 
 
   you will say.
 
 But the air
 
 
  will know what
 
 
 
 
     I will say.
 
 
    “Run away,”
 guided by wind.  
  
 
 
 
 
 Until that
 
     day will
 grace me,
 
     my home,
 
 
 
 
 my walls.
